This month’s honor goes to Sergeant Jennifer Wilson.
Those two decades were spent with MPD.
Wilson is a Mary G. Montgomery graduate. She went on to receive her bachelor’s degree from Columbia Southern University in criminal justice.“I always wanted to work in a field that was different and I always wanted to be a police officer,” Sergeant Wilson said. “And being in the military kind of inspired me to be a police officer to continue to serve my community.”In a field mostly dominated by men, she was recently promoted to patrol sergeant and teaches new police recruits.
Now with a year under her belt in this new role, nervous at first, she says this is the best thing that could’ve happened. “I was really hesitant as a female sergeant. My main worry was building trust with the guys and it took me stepping out of my comfort zone to come here and to move up in the ranks. And it’s the best thing that’s happened to me,” Sergeant Wilson said.
Sergeant Wilson encourages any woman looking to pursue a career in this field to go for it and not hesitate.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are. Available free in the
